Friday Lecture: Staff Breakout Session: "Understanding the Patient Journey in Dental Sleep Medicine"
Dr. Murphy will help us sneak inside the patient’s point of view to help facilitate their journey. From a patient’s reaction to medical diagnoses, treatment choices and protocols to understanding their fears and concerns, we will discuss optimizing communication to simplify the journey. Medical management research and pathway optimization have already done the heavy lifting, we only need to apply those principles to DSM, patient care, and our conversations.
Saturday Lecture: "How Precision is Changing Dental Sleep Medicine"
The most important impact of precision medical applications in DSM is in reducing the number of ‘False Non-Responders’. False non-responders are patients who would or could have responded to OAT but did not because of device inaccuracy, fit, comfort, bulk, side effects, etc. OAT has long suffered distrust from physicians because of unqualified dentists, inadequate AHI reduction, frequent side effects and poor published scientific data. Recent advances in precision design and medical grade material manufacturing have improved efficacy, adherence and effectiveness and reduced side effects and adverse reactions. Dr. Murphy will review the data and research that supports this important evolution to a new precision class of devices.
